(CC Joey to draw attention on this thread) Quoting Frans Pop (elendil@planet.nl): > Can you do that? I thought standard was exclusively a dynamic task that is > based on package priority alone. Yes, I can do it (a bug report might help being sure to not forget in case we don't converge very soon about what to do...)....maybe after we settle together on the various following bits. I always have hard times being 100% sure about what tasks files exactly imply but "standard" is the following: Task: standard Section: user Description: Standard system utilities This task sets up a basic user environment, providing a reasonably small selection of services and tools usable on the command line. Packages: standard Test-new-install: mark skip I assume that adding: Packages-list: iamerican ...would be enough to have standard install that package (if available on the media) along with the task. > > It depends a bit on what you want, but it seems to me this calls for an > en_US task.

The only drawback of this would be that we would then maybe need an "australian" task, then a "south-african", etc. There is "some" overall agreement that the US way to write English is the common ground (at least, this is what's adopted on the web site and how we review packages descriptions) so it would make sense, for consistency, to install an american dictionary by default. Also, that would avoid regressions, of course....which I would in some way define as a strong desire to have the US dictionaries installed for all languages, yes.
